SNEAK PEEK: Hands-on with the Bose SoundLink Mobile Speaker
In my eyes, Bose is all about the big, fancy speakers and headphones, the type of things I'll begin to think about when I'm a proper "grown up" and have money to throw away on pretentious electronics. But up until now they've always been put in the "out of my league box", along with designer…
Picaboo: How to send naughty photos without getting caught
This week a number of sneaky publications published some rather NSFW photos (allegedly) of the lovely Scarlett Johansson.

YouTube adds video editing with Lomo, Sepia and Comic Book filters
YouTube is now allowing its users to edit videos that have already been uploaded, so you can add that dreamy vintage hue that Hipstamatic and Instagram made so popular to pretty much EVERYTHING.

Facebook promises to stop spamming us all
This morning I opened up an email from Facebook which was addressed to me personally. How lovely. It explained that from now on the social network will aim to cut down on how many email notifications it sends out, which for all of those who complain about spam 24/7 will be a welcome piece of…
Sexperience: Cool data visualisation from Channel 4
It seems good old facts and figures just aren't cool anymore. Instead, we need our data presented to us in the form of bright, colourful infographics, whether we're trying to visualise world debt or create a flashy new CV. However, an offshoot of Channel 4's Sexperience website has taken the run-of-the-mill infographic to a whole…
7 Tumblr themes for photo blogs, fashion blogs and portfolios
One of the things I love about Tumblr compared to most other blogging platforms is the HUGE amount of choice when it comes to themes. Not only do you have access to thousands for free (obvs there are some paid ones too), but if you're handy with a bit of code you can customise them…
